The event perfect for anyone who ever wanted to play firefighter for a day is supported by Playmobil which will have fire brigade sets for little ones to play at home, and hopes to bring together the local fire services and the community.

Kicking-off the festivities will be Chiswick Fire Station on Father’s Day this Sunday (June 19) where the Mayor of Hounslow Ajmer Grewal will open the event.

The open days will give people the chance to meet local firefighters as well as life-size Playmobil ones and watch crews as they stage a road traffic rescue demonstration and a perform a mock up of rescuing someone from a ‘burning’ building.

One of the Brigade’s dogs trained to track down causes of a fire will make an appearance, while an awareness play will be staged by a local acting club along with live music, fairground rides, food and games.

The scout company 1st Chiswick, one of the oldest in the world, founded in 1908, will act as marshals for the vintage fire appliances on display, while local police will bring a car for display and the St John Ambulance will hold a first aid demonstration with their young cadets.

A lucky draw will also give someone the chance to win a Porsche for a weekend.
